Not to mention going 500 with this owner and front office might mean Jay is the best coach in the NFL. Ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinny21 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 The thing about the defense, IMO, is that it seems so often that any stops we get are due to turnovers or the other team making mistakes. Compare it to last year where we would blow up screen passes, get big sacks, bat balls at the line and defense passes. On the bright side, we’re getting better play from our DTs and are a bit better vs the run because of it... but we also get gashed on the ground and offenses haven’t really committed to the run as much as I’d expect. As for the O, Smith waits too long. Besides the deeper passes to Vernon Davis, our receivers aren’t getting YAC as a result. I used to think it was mostly an issue of poor talent on the outside, but I’ve changed my tune. Don’t get me wrong, we are lacking talent on the outside, but it no longer seems like the number one issue there. To be fair, the Oline gives up too much interior pressure, but still Smith has to get more comfortable with the scheme, and not hesitate (and pump the ball) so much... especially with his slower/longer release. How many times did we see him squeeze it in to Quick, Doctson, Harris and Reed today - the plays where you don’t know if they caught it until they held up the ball. He’s lacking the anticipation, and all I can hope is that we see improvement here with more time in the system... cause we aren’t going to suddenly ‘find’ a receiver that gets wide open (especially with any consistency).

Ha. I hate to admit it, but yeah. We know how Dan is without Bruce and Jay. With those two at least we're not in fear of the 6 win seasons, so I'm cautiously optimistic that we're at least mediocre and that the longer we can keep Jay, the longer we can prove that some resemblance of normal is what is needed here. I have my own gripes with Gruden and that last Carolina drive, as well as our drives stalling at around the 40, but we're growing in week 6 and it's easier to grow off a win than a loss.

Cooleyfan1993 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Here’s an interesting fact: opponents have only scored more than 21 points against us ONCE. And more than 17 points against us ONCE. The other games, we’ve held teams to less than 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmandoug1 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Relax peeps.....we are growing. We are 3-2 and we just beat the Panthers without Crowder and Thompson. That to me is a big deal..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carex Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 We did have two penalties that weren't that key to the play that cost us yardage. And the intentional grounding was very questionable. Yeah there was no one around, but could Smith be expected to complete his throwing motion with a guy knocking him down. That probably cost us at least a field goal If Scherff hadn't been able to stick it out, what's more likely Dunn at RG or Nsekhe at LG with Roullier moving to RG? (Since I doubt Ty has ever practiced there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Another interesting fact: Hopkins is 9/10 on FGs this year, and had a career long of 56 yards today. But yeah, cut him. He sucks. Geez it’s like you guys completely forgot his 93 yard FG in the preseason ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malapropismic Depository Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Gruden should rip Norman's headphones off every week, if it makes him bounce back with 2 turnovers the following week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedBNG Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 If they ranked teams by halves, we'd probably be the Buffalo Bills of 2nd halves. OK, good enough to kick FG's, but against a team with a decent offense catching up... lethargic. I started to notice that in the 2nd quarter and was a little bit worried. Thank goodness our D held on to stop them on their last drive. I was so glad they finally got a W against Rivera. Anyways, loved this commercial...

And i think their MLBs are better than ours. Should be an interesting match up. Sadly the Cowboys have owned us in recent years. The narrative from the Indy media is that their defensive coordinator who was from Dallas used the Dallas formula to beat Jay's offenses which is a variation of play cover 2, rush just 4 but stunt like crazy. Should be an interesting game. If they win it -- huge win. It would be 2 in a row and beating Dallas for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to set this right. And after Dallas' thrashing after Jax. Feels like a nice set up for vindication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morneblade Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 For us to win, we've got to stop Zeke and AP has to go off. I hope AP gets some rest this week, because he needs 25+ touches next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
